Sound on DVD players, but not computer??

I had to switch from my mac to a PC in order to burn a DVD. I can get the DVD to work in a regular DVD player, but in PC's there is Video but no Sound?
Any help would be great!
Thanks All!

I had the same bizarre problem. Burned DVDs would play with sound on commercial DVD players, but not on my PowerBook through the DVD Player application. Attempting to solve the problem, I used Handbrake to rip the DVDs. The ripped files would play fine with sound if placed on my 5G iPod, but not on my Mac through QuickTime (still video only, no sound). This fixed the probem: launch Audio MIDI Setup (it is in your Utilities folder) and check the volume output sliders. One of mine was set to zero output, even though I had never before launched Audio MIDI Setup. I moved the output slider controls to maximum. Problem solved. Good luck.

  • How can I view DVD's that I dubbed from old vhs tapes?  I finalized them and can play on other DVD players but not my IMac.  Is there a specific program?

    I dubbed DVD's from old VHS tapes.  I finalized them and can play tehm on differant DVD players, but on my IMac I can't play them.  Ultimately I want to create home movies with pics, but how can I play the DVD's?

    A DVD is a DVD, unless it's been authored in a non-standard way. When you insert it in your Mac, do you at least see the disk appear on the desktop? Does it have a VIDEO_TS folder in it, containing various files?
    If you open DVD Player manually (from the Applications folder), does it see it and start playing? If not, try downloading VLC (free) and see if that works.

  • DVD plays on DVD players but not on all PCs

    I used Idvd to burn a dvd. It plays on DVD players but the audio is garbled when played on some PCs running windows XP. The same PC plays other DVDs ok.
    Has anyone had this problem? Does a PC require quicktime in order to play a DVD made from Final cut and IDVD?
    Thanks for any help

    Welcome to discussions, Rayfred
    Does a PC require quicktime in order to play a DVD made from Final cut and IDVD?
    No.
    Did you burn it onto a DVD+R or DVD-R? Many PCs don't play DVD-Rs well.

  • DVD Plays on DVD Players But not on computers- not even mine!

    HELP!
    I burned a DVD for a client using DVDSP 3 ( i know it's old...but it's what I've got) and the DVD works fine on all the Standard desktop DVD players we've tried them on but when the client put it in her laptop, the computer rejected it. I burned her a new one myself and tried it on MY G5, which burned it (I didn't check the first time to see if it would work on a G5) and my computer rejected it too! I've burned dozens of DVD's before using the same version of DVDSP and haven't had this problem before...
    what am I missing? Could it be something in my preferences or something that i forgot to click?
    My DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106D and reads other dvd's with no problem...

    No rhyme or reason... but tried one more time after putting back my old copy of idvd 06 with my oldest themes in it, and I now have DVD's that will play on regular DVD players!
    Now, if Apple could just get us a firmware update for the SONY DVD RW DW-U10A which came with my G-5 and then maybe we could all burn disks at the new 16X speed! Instead of limiting our possibilites.
    Oh and yes, I did contact Sony about firmware updates. They informed me that this is really an OEM drive (whatever that is) and that Sony does not support it!

  • Dvd plays on dvd players but not mac computer

    I burned a short film onto a dvd using DVD Studio Pro. When I play the dvd in a dvd player, the menu and tracks play fine and in accordance with the simulate menu in DVDSP.
    However, the dvd will not play on my macbook pro or imac using dvd player. The menu comes up, but "play" has no result. "Not Permitted" comes up.
    Details:
    Menu is assigned first play.
    Menu is simple: a single button "play" linked to asset (track 1, 6 min runtime).
    Video Asset is MPEG-2, 7.7Mbps, 2-pass, 16:9 Anamorphic, from Compressor
    Audio is Dolby Digital Professional 2.0.ac3, from Compressor
    DVDSP preferences all set to SD, 16:9 Letterbox
    Burning to DVD-R
    Has anyone encountered this?
    Thanks,
    V

    Well not that anyone was involved with this thread but I rebuilt my dvd menu from scratch and it seems that there were some buttons that i had brought in but had disabled (and never bothered to clear from the menu because they were invisible.) I guess they were confusing the computer when trying to hit play.
    so... there

  • Dvd plays on players but not on computers

    I really don't understand the following issue: After I burn a disk image created with idvd in toast 6 (disk utilities can't seem to burn it properly) I am able to play the dvd on regular dvd players, but not on any of my computers. Why? (The "play on both PC and Mac is selected)

    Hi mieke,
    that is indeed strange because to make a .img of a video-dvd run on dvd standalones, you have to choose in Toast "data"+"dvd rom udf".... and NOT PC+Mac.... (???)
    you don't want to create a datadisk, but a videoDVD, which has very different file structure/format then computer disks........
    ....... only advice I can give: try again, with settings mentioned above...
    hope this answer could be helpful........

  • IDVD created DVD plays on some DVD players and not others, HELP!

    Hi everyone,
    I just finished a huge wedding photo montage and burned it using iDVD to a standard DVD-R. I popped it into a Sony home DVD player and all went well, and looked great. Next I tried the DVD in a Mintek portable DVD player (so it's easier to take to the wedding and connect to the LCD projector) and the DVD is not recognized. I tested another computer burned DVD (from a wedding video that was burned on a PC) in the mintek and it does work. I also tested the mintek using a standard store bought DVD movie and it worked fine.
    Any thoughts on why this might be happening? I've browsed through the prefs for iDVD in search of some "compatibility" options but there aren't any.
    The wedding is Saturday so I'm really hoping to get this sorted out quickly.
    BTW I'm using the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815 (the one that came standard in the original 1GHz, 17" Powerbook)
    Thanks everyone!

    Your problem is the Mintek portable DVD player.
    Some older DVD players will not play the newer burned media.
    This is by design to force conusmers to always upgrade and update there equipment to stay a head of the technology curve.
    I had the same problem with a 2 year old stand alone player wouldn't play anything I burned. It would play on other computers and on newer stand alone players but not on a 2 year old player. (VERY FRUSTRATING) I bought a new cheap stand alone and quess what , All was good it played.
    There are different codes that are on these players that distingish the players capability.
    Good Luck.

  • Scripts works in Simulator and Apple DVD player but not on TV

    I have a basic project with two different tracks.
    The first one is video and audio. Plays "as is".
    The second has video, two audio and one subtitle. Depending on which button, the second Track should be played with different audio and with/without subtitles.
    (I use GPRM 1 to set the subs stream, GPRM 2 for the audio and GPRM 3 for menu button navigation).
    On the second Track I have a pre-script that sets the streams depending on the value of GPRM 1 and 2.
    Works fine in Simulator and in Apple DVD player, but not on the stand-alone player.
    Any idea what might be the issue here?
    in short:
    Button 1: Play Track 1 "as is" (audio 1, no subs)
    Button 2: Play Track 2, audio 1, subs on
    Button 3: Play Track 2, audio 2, subs off
    Button 4: Play Track 2, "as is" (audio 1, subs off)
    Menu button and End Jump should go to the corresponding menu button.
    Many thanks for your help.

    It is part personal preference, part artistic, part what makes the user experience the best so there may not be one "right" answer and I have often made menus one way than changed them when viewing the DVD for something that seemed to work better.
    Looking at you description I started playing with some ideas in my head and started typing them, then changed what I was writing
    It sounds like you want chapter selections for both track 1 and track 2? If so it may make sense to have the initial menu have Track 1 and Track 2 buttons which then link to sub menus where there is "Play All," selections for each section of each movie and one last button for the preferences.
    Alternatively you could also place the preferences selection button on the main menu, though since Track 1 does not sound like it really has preferences you need to make sure that users do not become confused and think they have turned something on/off and are not seeing these options when they thought they selected them when they play back Track 1.
    Also with 6 to 8 chapter markers you may be getting close to the point where scripting could make it easier if your selections are just to play the sections - in other words for track 2 four stories take care of the combinations Audio 1/Sub Off, Audio 1 Subs On, Audio 2 Subs Off, Audio 2 Sub On. If the chapter selection starts the track a scene then plays through you can target chapter markers in the story so 4 stories takes care of it. If you are just playing sections you would need 4 x 6 or 8 chapters - 24 or 32 stories roughly. But it is actually fairly quick to do - just set up the intial Play All with all subtitles and audio selections unchecked except for "1" then copy from there. Probably should take under 10-15 minutes or so
    Put a real quick thing together for a quick view of the tracks. I can flesh it out more if you like.

    The main menu will be the title menu, then the sub-menus (including the set up menus) can be placed in the same VTS as the applicable tracks which can help a bit with DVD performance speed. Since there is 6 to 8 chapter markers on a track each of the main sub-menus would have 8-10 buttons which can work in the design.

  • My sound works for music but not apps

    My sound works for music but not apps

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    Have you checked System Preferences -> Sound to see the Output when nothing is plugged in the headphone jack? Also, check if the headphone jack shows a faint read-light, which is the optical laser.

    can get sound thru i tunes but not on internet

    You are welcome. 
    As best as I can recall, the MacBook will try to remember your settings. 
    You can test it out - just hook your machine up to the TV and use it as a second display.  Try some sounds.

  • Can burn DVD-RWs, but not DVD-R's

    Can burn DVD-RWs but not R's. In fact, a blank R will not even show up in Disk Utility or Toast 6. Can anyone help me? Ronda? Duane? John?
    BTW, unit has been fixed twice-once for logic board, another time for optical drive.

    Tried two different brands. Will try another brand. Created new user, tried it under that as well with new prefs. No luck.

  • Supports many Rio MP3 players, but not Rio Forge?

    In brief: iTunes 7 appears to support many models of Rio MP3 players, but not the Rio Forge. Why not? Can future versions of iTunes include support for the Rio Forge?
    I recently upgraded from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. On the PB, I could use my Rio Forge MP3 player with iTunes easily. I just had to download the iTunes plug-in from the MP3 player manufacturer's web site. However, I just now discovered that this plug-in is not compatible with Intel processors. That's the manufacturer's problem, right? Or is it?
    My wife tried her new Zen Nano Plus MP3 player with iTunes. Without installing any drivers, iTunes recognized her player. It thought it was a "Nomad MuVo", which is another player model from the same manufacturer, but it works.
    I concluded that the support for the Zen Nano (as a Nomad MuVo) must be built into iTunes. I looked through the files and found that's true. I also found that there were several Rio MP3 players mentioned, including the Rio Chiba and Rio Cali, which use the same iTunes plug-in from the manufacturer as the Rio Forge. If that same plug-in can support all those MP3 player models, maybe it would be a small matter to extend iTunes' support to include the Rio Forge.
    How about it, iTunes developers?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes 7, Rio Forge

    It may work with other players but iTunes does not actually "support" any players except the iPod.

  • Burned DVD's play on Phillips DVD Player, but not on computer DVD player

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm burning my reel in DVD STUDIO PRO 4 via MPEG-2 files exported from FCP to Compressor and then brought into DVD Studio Pro 4.
    I select BUILD/FORMAT and go through the steps (insert blank DVD, etc.) and when the DVD is spit out of my macbook pro, it works perfectly fine on a DVD Player, but when I insert it back into my macbok, it spins for about 45 seconds and then spits itself right back out.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    NOTE: I have successfully burned other DVD's using TOAST so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
    thanks again.
    -Steve

    CompUsa is not one of the brands often recommended around here, Taiyo Yuden is a good one
    Take a look at this thread for info on how to increase compatibility

    (Note neither Memorex nor CompUsa top Class media, and may actually be 3rd class or worse depending on the ID)
    There was also a report that a new Sony would not play DVD SP discs
    Also what is happening? Not playing at all? Bad Playback?

  • DVD plays on one TV DVD player, but not on another

    I made a video for a client's 50th b-day party, and burned it with DVDSP 3.
    I am using Verbatim, DatalifePlus 16x media.
    It plays fine on my G5 and my TV's DVD player, as well as on my clients computer, but not on his TV's DVD player.
    I am not sure what kind of equipment the DJ at his party will use, but of course I want to be confident it will work.
    Anyone have issues like this, or any solutions/explanations?
    Thanks.

    If I was going to wager, it sounds like the player is old.
    The other items can also cause issues, sometimes high rates can cause problems, but it does not sound like that is the case with the rates you used, especially if you (?) used AC3 for the audio. Usually that would happen more if playback is poor (as oppossed to not playing at all.) Also note that some players handle dirt/scratches better than others, so some may play the disc and another may not. Of course the last thing is that it is DVD SP causing the issue. Some players have issues with how DVD SP authors a disc.
    I would try burning slower (as suggessted) and try a different brand of media. If you are able to find out which machine they have you may be able to find out what it is designed to play (media -R/+R etc.) of if there are known issues with the machine. Usually older machines would work with -R if there was going to be one over the other.

    Verbatim seems to be rated well. Personally I like Taiyo Yuden -R for SL and Verbatim +R for DL
